The Trial

The Abandoned Sewers Trial is available for heroes level 38-40. Unlike other task forces and trials, the Abandoned Sewers Trial is run as a mission that any hero between the levels 38-40 can accept. The trial does not auto-exemp higher level charcters, and the only restriction on the lower level is the minimum level requirement of the Abandoned Sewer Network (level 36). Heroes can leave and join the team at any point in the mission. The level of the Rikti and Hatched Kraken within the second mission is set at level 42.

Defeat 150 Rikti to show Maren you're up to the task

Mission Briefing

Sure you look tough in that costume, but can you fight? Prove it. Go to the abandoned sewers and defeat 150 Rikti. Then we'll talk, hero.

Off you go. I'll be here, just waiting to be dazzled.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat aliens in abandoned sewers
  • Defeat 150 Rikti

Debriefing

All right. I'd say you're ready to take on the Hydra itself. Use this computer access code to unlock the maintenance room door. Once you're in, kill everything you see from top to bottom. And I mean everything. Remember, once activated, that door only stays open for 90 minutes, so don't play around.

I can give you one hint: check for Rikti crates. They're the key to your success. The Rikti have got some seriously funky technology for trying to keep the Hydra in check, so use it to your advantage.

You may be tough up here, but down there it's all about tactics and finding the right tool for the job.

I don't envy you on this one, ace. You'll have a hard fight. Remember, the Rikti crates are the key.

Debriefing

Hey, you're back, A Hydra Eye? For me? How cool.

I'm glad to know you survived, and the Hydra is contained. For now, at least. I'm impressed and I don't impress easily.
